no, but i have the beta client now, one of the chs guys selling it on vzkj, the only problem, i cant do much with it atm, since i have no protocol communication and i can not connect to their servers to sniff stuff...
so i was asking on vzkj, when they are planning on opening it. as simple as that ;d
@ DarkAv
sorry if i offended you, i saw when say your going to release the server files soon, and for the fact i know it's not even open yet and there is no date. thats why i say those word about you. and we all know your capable of it. :)
but like all files, it would appear first in china forum.
i keep everyone posted if they release it.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5zfnybt7YE&feature=related"]YouTube - MuX Game Trailer , MUX - The legend of dragon .[/ame]
and this?
wow! it looks a mu with new graphic! :D
much better..
it sure looks good :)
Actually DaRKav you can do a lot if you got game client that is not packed. You can find there every packet structure for creating an emulator without even need of server. That's what FeN$x teached me (ty). But probably first you would need to find encryption algorithms if there are any and without server it would be harder.
So good luck!
So he can throw away encryption. I think it's not hard work. I need only client, and i can write emulator ^^.Quote:

I have emulator base, but i need only client to start coding (protocol etc.). Only client...
Webzen had announced MU 2 long time before The9 came up with their "original" idea of making a plagiarized copy called MUX. And besides, MU 2 has been in development for about several years now. If I were Webzen. I would sue The9. Remember what Nintendo did when Webzen were developing Project Wiki? In case you don't remember, Nintendo sued Webzen and WIKI was discontinued.
Firstly, The 9 lost their WoW publishing license, and they almost immediately announced their upcoming "World of Fight".

Secondly, the Chinese company lost its MU publishing license, and guess what - MU X is on the way... So which popular game is next? The 9's behaviour is completely intolerable.

looking for client..
unless this MU blue crap is good this game is gonna pwn!!
UPDATE
i got some info that MUX is open for beta testing on DECEMBER 2009 and does not have the ip limit * which mean any one can join around the world.
i think it will be better then MUBLUE because of the new 3D interface , and ways of playing it.

any one know the system req for this game??
pls i wanna know because i have 1.6 GHz only
they havnt been released yet but there is bowned to be detail levels
Hi any news about open beta or something?
nothing new since the end of October
lol... while I admit that this game will probably be great, it'd be a bit silly to compare 99% of games with something like Diablo 3... You just know that D3 will fracking own everything in its category.
By the way, the full name appears to be "Miracles: Ultimate X". From The9's 2009 financial results conference call:
It seems quite stupid of them to screw up their business relationship with Webzen by trying to falsely use the name of Webzen's product (which isn't even that well-known), especially on a game that is completely different in almost every way except the basic genre.Quote:
Miracles Ultimate X is our first in-house developed 3D MMORPG with three years of dedicated work. Miracles Ultimate X creates a fantasy world with high quality graphics and fluid movements. We conducted an internal alpha testing on September 14th which lasted for three weeks and currently we are enriching the game content by expanding maps and increasing missions. We expect to conduct further testing in order to create the best game quality before its rollout.
Anyhoo... cool screenies :8:

The new video: http://mux.the9.com/video/muxIndexVideo.flv
OMG WOW dling vid now... LOL they still using WZ's music?
looks pretty cool slightly like WC3 with the capes but then very Asian with all the auras around items etc. Private servers here we come
Haha yeah, that was funny :D:
I mirrored that video here, since the official site is a bit crappy and slow: http://*******.com/muxvideo
This game doesn't really have anything to do with the Mu section though... It's kinda like if Hero Online or Kal Online brought out an expansion that had a boss monster called Kundun in it... it's funny to Mu players but not really in fact relevant to this section :thumb:
i wanna plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ;D
Haha, totally agree with the point though...
Well, do have a bit more in common than you would see, they have same protocol engine, and we kinda all know where that came from ;D
P.S. http://www.muxonline.net should be faster ;d
I can't wait.. the game graphic it's awsome :D hope that will be privates 2 xD
MUX is not the same but MU Online is a great imitation as can be seen in the title of the site where he's written MUX Online - The China MuOnline Version
English site ~> http://www.muxonline.net/main.php
Webzen Pursues Trademark Litigation Against The9 for Its Popular Online Game MU
http://www.emediaworld.com/press_rel....php?id=836474
Mux ("Miracle legend" MUX) is real 3D MuOnline version?
Hmm dude.. you probably miss-understood..
"The China MuOnline Version English site" is just a copy that DaRKav made. Its not related to the official mux in any way. He just copied it. (btw without any reason that i can understand :blink:)
Its just a translate.. dont count on it so much :ehh:
so will he be updating ti when the mux site gets updated?

alex_Ro sorry if I somehow offended you, but with that kind of attitude you ain't going to gain any respect here.
I better suggest you now delete your account and start a new one as guy who's willing to learn & share.
nanoman u r very funny guy .......
Depends on how good the game is actually - is it worth making an emulator.
But besides that for this game we will get official files, cause hack520 already have them.
mux is really a most beautiful copy of MuOnline, the company The9 confirms it, you can view the site: http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8...namuonline.jpg
Mu2 = Blue Mu?
The9, violation of trademark agreement with Webzen’s MU
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...k-infringementQuote:
...
Webzen claims that The9 violated the trademark transfer provision of their contract signed in 2003, stating that The9 shell transfer all of MU-related trademarks to Webzen per Webzen’s request as well as restraining from all of MU-related copyright infringement.
...
Chang-Guen Kim, the CEO of Webzen,Inc. said, “We have tried to settle the dispute with The9 for the last four months in order to maintain our partnership with The9, but we have not received any cooperation from them. Not only MU Online is Webzen’s primary online game product, but it is also an important figure in the history of Korean MMORPG industry, and the development of the official MU2 is on the way. We have decided to take strong action against The9 in order to protect MU’s brand and trademark
...
We ain't going to get the files from hack520 that's for sure.
He is not even selling them right now, no matter what price we offered.
Actually the site you are viewing (muxonline.net) has NOTHING to do with the MU-X nor company The9 and NEVER will.
That site is just a fake site to get publicity after the first opening and to make it look like it's official.
I can tell you one thing for sure - there are only TWO official websites which are:
http://mux.the9.com/
http://www.muxchina.com/
So be careful next time!
About Mu Blue = MU 2:
MU Blue has nothing to do with the Webzen MU 2 project - is that clear?
yeah i was gonna say that, when the Mu-x announcement happened WZ was still on preproduction (so that's thinking and planning), by the time MU-X is in beta there most likely will be a site and what not for MU2, the thing with having a site is there needs to be something you can show/brag about on it otherwise its like zzzz.
so basically MU-X will steal alot of thunder from WZ before they even start making noise about MU2
i think that Old Mu Online season 1,2,3,4,5 are better than MuX becouse it's not best grapic but we love this and we dont's playing L2 or other MMORPG 3 D games... Mu Online For ever more : ))) sorry for my bad english
why only in china???
any news with MUX ?

Webzen Pursues Trademark Litigation Against The9 for Its Popular Online Game MU
Tue Dec 8, 2009 7:01pm IST
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, Dec 08 (MARKET WIRE) --
Webzen, Inc. (NASDAQ: WZEN) (KOSDAQ: 069080), a developer of popular
MMORPG game 'MU,' announced that they had begun pursuing trademark
litigation against their Chinese service distribution partner, The9
Limited, for trademark agreement and transfer rights violation with MU.
Webzen first filed the trademark transfer lawsuit at Seoul District Court,
mandating The9 to transfer their trademark title of MU which was
registered since 2002 in Chinese National Chamber of Commerce to Webzen,
Inc.
Webzen claims that The9 violated the trademark transfer provision of their
contract signed in 2003, stating that The9 shall transfer all of
MU-related trademarks to Webzen per Webzen's request as well as
restraining from all of MU-related copyright infringement.
Webzen also made clear that this lawsuit is to reserve their trademark
rights for MU from The9. Webzen had previously allowed The9 to register MU
under The9 in order to provide smooth initial service distribution to
China, however Webzen still reserved the trademark right of MU, and The9
had an obligation to transfer their title to Webzen per their request.
The9 had been the service provider of MU in China. The dispute between
Webzen and The9 began in June, 2009 when The9 revealed with teaser movies
and original graphic works of their own MMORPG named MUX in the well-known
Chinese game show 'China Joy 2009,' commenting that MUX will be the sequel
to the MU series. As the original developer of MU, Webzen began trademark
and copyright infringement with The9.
Since MUX was revealed, Webzen had requested The9 to cease any usage of MU
in MUX brand and correct their comment about MUX being the sequel to MU,
but The9 has been avoiding commenting or taking any action.
The9 announced through their webpage that MUX is their own 2.5D online
game and will first reveal the game to the consumers during 2009.
As the dispute grew, The9 changed MUX into the full name, Miracle:
Ultimate X, on their disclosure from September, 2009 but they are still
using MUX on their official website.
The officials from Webzen commented, "Not only their MUX title confuses
the users with our trademark of MU, but MUX also imitated MU's original
background music and main characters as well."
Webzen is also preparing to file a complaint against The9 and MUX to Korea
and China Copyrights Commission in order to protect their trademarks and
copyrights of MU.
Chang-Guen Kim, the CEO of Webzen, Inc. said, "We have tried to settle the
dispute with The9 for the last four months in order to maintain our
partnership with The9, but we have not received any cooperation from them.
Not only MU Online is Webzen's primary online game product, but it is also
an important figure in the history of Korean MMORPG industry, and the
development of the official MU2 is on the way. We have decided to take
strong action against The9 in order to protect MU's brand and trademark."
MU Online was first introduced to China through The9 in 2003, and it has
reached over 9 Billion Yuan in first month revenues. The popularity of MU
grew significantly as MU's game storyline was published as novel for the
first time in the MMORPG genre, and MU has been one of the most popular
MMORPG games in Korea and China for 8 years.
